Materials Data on UAl2 by Materials Project
UAl2 is Cubic Laves structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. U is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four equivalent U and twelve equivalent Al atoms. All U–U bond lengths are 3.34 Å. All U–Al bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Al is bonded to six equivalent U and six equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of edge, face, and corner-sharing AlU6Al6 cuboctahedra. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.73 Å.
